Ice-cream for breakfast in February! Whyever not ...?! The guests and volunteers enjoyed an ice-cream for breakfast last week. We’re nothing if not imaginative at Open Door 😊
Robin from Chosen Hill Lodge popped in to see us recently, bringing with him a cheque, representing money raised from a number of raffles and with the request that the donation goes towards ‘helping the incredible work’ of Cheltenham Open Door. Thank you!
What our Guests say about us: “There’s a lovely friendly atmosphere.” “Coming to Open Door helps with my anxiety and depression.” “I appreciate all the help and support and the people here are amazing.”
Today is Emotional Health Day! At Open Door, we work with our Guests to provide mindful activities and we offer an onsite psychotherapist who can help anyone who wants, or needs to talk.
How our Guests can find us in Cheltenham. Our Guest Centre is open from Monday to Thursday every week. Here's how to find us!
Here we have the amazing Arthur from Wood’s Barbers in Pittville who comes to cut our Guests’ hair every fortnight. Our Guests enjoy having a good haircut, which they can get for free at our Centre in Alstone Lane. We are grateful for Arthur’s kindness and professionalism.
In celebration of Valentine’s Day last week, Chef Marc cooked a nice meal for two as the star prize for Thursday’s game of Bingo. The lucky winner received a wild mushroom & tarragon risotto, parmesan broccoli gratin and a crisp garden salad to take home for the special day.
The Hatherley are pleased to announce that alongside their corporate Charity, Cheltenham Open Door is their local charity of choice. Also they hold a great quiz every Thursday night, run by our Cheltenham Open Door’s monthly resident Karaoke couple Jayne & Wayne.
Leaving a charitable gift in your will can be hugely helpful to small charities like Cheltenham Open Door. Please take a look at this short video which explains some of the benefits of legacies and charitable giving. 💫 @WillansLLP
Never a dull day at Cheltenham Open Door - with Afternoon Tea Donut Explosion! Everyone deserves a treat once in a while and who doesn’t love a donut or two (or three...)?!
Look out for our van! Cheltenham Open Door’s van is invariably out and about on the streets of Cheltenham, Gloucester and the surrounding area, picking up collections, heading to the supermarket to buy food for our guests and dropping off the essentials we need to operate.
Did you know... In 2024, we served 15,225 meals. Serving an average of 76 guests a day. And we were open 201 days.
We are passionate about Recycling! As you can see from the attached photos, we are recycling as much packaging and food waste as we can and encourage everyone who uses our Centre to join in!
Here is Richard from our social media company, it'seeze Gloucestershire, delivering a box of goodies to Den. A big thank you to it'seeze Gloucestershire and to Stuart Lee Design for their kindness and generosity filling up this box for our Guests.

All our Guests have access to a tasty breakfast at our Guest Centre in Cheltenham. Recently chef Marc conjured up a special treat of grilled Nutella-filled pancakes with melting butter and a maple syrup drizzle! Thanks to Sainsbury's and Neighbourly! 💫 @sainsburys 💫 @nbrly
We are delighted to announce that we are Specsavers Cheltenham's charity this year! Specsavers branches are located on the High Street in Cheltenham and instore at Sainsburys on Gallagher Retail Park. 💫 @Specsavers
Over the Christmas period, Vicki and Cam from The Everyman came into our Centre to run an excellent and fun Singing Project with our Guests. Activities such as these make Open Door such a special place to spend time, and we are grateful to The Everyman.
